Soon, when Pocomoke High School's sports opponents enter the gymnasium, they'll be faced with a mural exemplifying the warrior spirit.

Pocomoke is bringing back an art piece from the past with a few updates, at an unveiling planned for homecoming weekend in early October.

Alumna Dawn Tarr-Scott painted the school's original gymnasium mural in the early 1990s. During renovations in the 2000s, the mural was torn down, but with the help of students in the school's summer arts academy, Tarr-Scott's legacy lives on.

Both paintings are inspired by artist Frederic Remington's paintings of America's wild west.

“We wanted to do something in the gym that kind of denoted warrior spirit," said Bill Buchanan, Pocomoke's former art teacher.

Buchanan taught Tarr-Scott during her high school career, and when talks of creating the original mural came up, he chose her to bring it to life.

As an homage to Remington's work, Tarr-Scott's original painting featured five warriors on horseback running into the gymnasium.

On the walls are a mix of male and female athletes from the school's various sports.

The mural adds a generational element, she explained. with students being able to come back and see themselves when they return to Pocomoke in the future.

Masonite boards allow the artwork to move if, and when, the school is renovated in the future.

“We can take it off and move it, and preserve it,” Tobiassen said.

Tobiassen said during her three-year tenure at Pocomoke, she's seen Wallace encourage arts education and decorating the school's walls in colorful work.

“Since I’ve been here, we’ve always had artists come in each year and it’s great for the students to get to work with lots of different artists, and different mediums, and just get that experience that they may not get otherwise," Tobiassen said.

She's seen her students, especially her advanced art classes, flourish from working with artists, learning different creative processes and gaining an artistic scope they've never had before.

Buchanan, who beams with pride seeing his daughter's work, sees the importance of artwork in schools because allowing students to display their work gives them a platform to display their vision and see others interpret it.

“It’s a visual voice," he explained. "Everybody has a unique way of creating something. No two people can create the same way."
